These listening and viewing stations are located on the main level. Headphones are also available for check-out at the circulation desk.
CD, LP, DVD and VHS collection
The Music Library has a collection of 15,000 LPs, over 4,000 CDs, over 100 DVDs, and 100 VHS videos. All can be located in the CUNY Catalog.
